About the procedure
Gynaecomastia is characterized by the enlargement of breast tissue in males, often leading to physical discomfort and self-consciousness. The causes include:
- Hormone Imbalance: An imbalance between testosterone and estrogen can lead to the development of breast tissue.
- Obesity: Excess body fat can contribute to hormonal changes, potentially causing gynaecomastia.
- Puberty: Fluctuating hormone levels during puberty can temporarily cause breast enlargement in boys, often resolving as hormone levels stabilize.
- Older Age: With aging, men produce less testosterone and may gain body fat, leading to increased estrogen production and potential breast tissue growth.
